Jeremic,
I'm sorry if my statement may have been confusing to you, but it still stands. As the channel spacing is reduced, the channel's (wavelength, or lambda) ability to carry the bit rate is also reduced. Total bandwidth per fiber is the product of the number of channels, which is a function of the channel spacing, and the bit rate. This is elementary physics and simple arithemetic.
I happen to love technology. But as a long term researcher and businessman, I understand the difference between concept and implementation. I remain a skeptic but hopeful observer of new technology, until I begin to see rave reviews by qualified people, and subsequent broad market acceptance. Many innovations come ahead of there time. Been there and done that.
From what I gather, the Avanex Powermux is not meeting with the rave reviews by the user community as it is perceived as a marketing tactic, rather than a technical breakthrough.
